Our friends at Hayama Marina are once again inviting TSPS members and their guests to join them for a day on the water. In the past, we’ve gathered at Hayama, boarded four or five boats, spent a pleasant morning and afternoon sailing, sat at anchor for lunch and a swim, then wrapped up the day with a barbecue in the boatyard (see pictures from 2012 here). This year the plan is a little different. This time, added to the schedule is Hayama Marina’s annual Hachigatsu da yo Zenin Shugo, or roughly, “Hey, It’s August, Dude. Let’s Party!” event.
The day will start like previous joint sails- a morning/afternoon sail, lunch at anchor, but then we return to port around 3:00PM for the 4:00PM party kick-off, and then spend the rest of the day and evening enjoying fine food and drink, Hayama’s hula, belly, and Tahiti dancers and live music. It’s sure to be a great time as always. The event wraps up at 8PM.
